Don't let your mental illness become your identity and define who you are. My name is Yichao Zhang, and I'm a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I'm currently accepting new clients who are looking for medication management for depression, bipolar depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, OCD, ADHD and schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder. I'm using the evidence-based practice to ensure treatment safety and effectiveness with a goal of achieving the optimal outcome

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I'll listen to your chief complains/struggle/barriers, obtain a full psychiatric, medical and family history as well as social and personal history, and formulate a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and diagnosis

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a psychiatric provider, I'm person-centered, culturally-informed, and with a holistic approach to all my clients that translates to superior mental health outcomes.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I'm serving my clients in assisting in conceptualizing stress including the role of cognitive appraisals, personal and interpersonal skills and helping them in making connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and development of more realistic and healthy cognitive messages
